The best greeting is often unspoken, just a finger raised to the sky.

"Hi" usually does it!

My favorite is when someone says "How's it going?" and doesn't even care about the answer.

A car horn is standard, followed by an outstretched middle finger. Obscenities to follow.

In 30 years I've never heard someone say that.
